Pichit Chor Siriwat (Thai: พิชิต ช.ศิริวัฒน์; stylized as Pichit Siriwat; born 31 January 1975), also known as Pichitnoi Sitbangprachan (พิชิตน้อย ศิษย์บางพระจันทร์), is a retired Thai professional boxer and Muay Thai fighter who was the WBA junior flyweight world champion in the late 1990s.
Biography and boxing career
Pichit is the younger brother of Pichit Sitbangprachan, a Thai boxer who won the IBF flyweight world title in the early 1990s. Both were boxers under Songchai Rattanasuban's stable.
Pichit made his professional boxing debut under the name "Pichitnoi Sitbangprachan" (The Little Pichit) and got his first world title shot on October 9, 1994, against WBA junior flyweight champion Leo Gámez of Venezuela at Ramkhamhaeng University. He lost by TKO in the sixth round due to limited experience.
Songchai continued to support his career and changed his ring name to "Pichit Chor Siriwat" after politician Chaipak Siriwat, who became his sponsor. In 1995, he won the PABA light flyweight title and defended it once. He earned a second world title opportunity on December 3, 1996, against Japanese titleholder Keiji "Prince" Yamaguchi at Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka. This time, he won the championship by TKO in the second round.
He went on to defend his title five times, including a win over veteran Thai boxer Kaaj Chartbandit (Hadao CP Gym), who had previously challenged Leo Gámez for the world title in 1994 but was unsuccessful. That bout was held on March 1, 1998, at Ratchawong Pier in Bangkok's Chinatown as part of the Chinese New Year 1998 celebration. In early 2000, he was stripped of the title for failing to defend it within the required timeframe.
In early 2002, he received a third world title shot against Nicaragua's Rosendo Álvarez at Jai Alai Fronton in Miami, but was defeated by TKO in the final round.[2]
He continued fighting and remained in the rankings for a while. He later traveled to Japan as both a boxer and a trainer for Ioka Boxing Gym, owned by Hiroki Ioka, a former Japanese world champion in two weight classes. However, due to low pay, he eventually returned to Thailand.[3][2]
He now lives in his hometown of Chaiyaphum, where he runs a tilapia farming business.[1]
